Great Oaks Legacy Charter School in Newark is seeking a High School
Special Education Teacher to teach for the 2019-20 school year.

Great Oaks Legacy Overview
Great Oaks Legacy Charter School is a high-performing, innovative
public charter school in Newark NJ, serving over 1,600 students
from Pre-K to 12th grade on campuses across the city. Our mission
is to prepare public school students for success in college. We do
so with a unique model that incorporates daily high-dosage
tutoring, differentiated instruction, and building a school
community based on genuine, caring relationships.

Great Oaks Legacy students aspire to be some of the highest
performing students in the country. We have high academic and
behavioral expectations for our students. For example, our students
are encouraged to take multiple AP classes before they graduate. We
pair rigorous curriculum and teaching with intense personal support
from teachers, tutors, and staff.

The school's mission is to prepare our students for college success
through several key elements:

Small school - Grade-level cohorts of less 100 students allow
each student to feel known and cared for. Our focus is on a sense
of community and relationship building with families and students

More time on task - We offer longer school days than
traditional schools and weekend or after school sessions for
students who need additional support.

High expectations - Rigorous, differentiated,
college-preparatory coursework from Pre-K through 12th grade.
Advanced Placement and real college courses for high school
students.

Effective Instruction - World-class teachers with clear
expectations and the support they need to continuously improve.
To fulfill our mission, we must -

Create a community that is built upon genuine and meaningful
relationships

Be surgical in our approach to differentiation of instruction
and support of ALL students and team members

Set and exceed high expectations for academic growth and
character development for all students, in preparation for success
in college and beyond
TEACHING AT GREAT OAKS LEGACY:
The teachers at Great Oaks Legacy Charter School are responsible
for preparing each of our students for college success through
rigorous instruction and maintaining consistently high expectations
for conduct. Teachers are models of the hard work, desire for
learning, and self-control that we expect our students to learn and
display.

GREAT OAKS LEGACY PHILOSOPHY
Our students arrive, on average, significantly behind grade level.
Many live in poverty - a higher percentage than most schools in the
country. Upon arrival, they are statistically less than 10% likely
to graduate with a 4-year degree. Our mission is that each child
ultimately graduates from college. Therefore:

Employee takes responsibility to reverse negative outcomes of
failing students, to make every effort to work proactively and
reactively to engage each and every student, such that each is
legitimately prepared to succeed in college.

It is a given that all of the faculty work very, very hard. All
staff, including the Campus Directors, Admin Teams, CAO, CEO,
President, Operations Team and COO and Employee, acknowledge that
we will do more than just work hard; we each seek - through formal
and informal feedback - to dramatically improve. At Great Oaks
Legacy, an ongoing quest for improvement is not considered
remedial, it is essential and ongoing for all staff.
